Heating food will destroy any pathogens in it. Cooling it back down doesn't cause these pathogens to grow again, but they can if there is a source in the fridge from which they can spread to this new food. Refrigeration is only used to keep food from spoiling for a longer period of time rather than simply leaving it out. It can only encourage bacteria growth if the interior (and food) is cool AND humid.

To cool chili con carne or any other hot food for storage in a fridge, you should place the chili in several small containers, and place them directly in the fridge.

Can you i hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer?
Allow hot foods to cool slightly uncovered before refrigerating. Leave them uncovered in the fridge until quite cool. Put a folded kitchen towel or newspaper under the dish before placing in the refrigerator to avoid the risk of the dish cracking from contact with cold shelves. Very hot foods placed in a refrigerator will adversely affect other foods stored there, and will take longer to cool because the interior of the fridge will have become warmer.

Should you refrigerate hot spaghetti sauce or let it cool first?
It has to cool down or the whole fridge will get warm. Supposedly, modern refrigerators can handle hot food without a negative impact on other food in the fridge. Personally, I would let the food cool so that it is no longer steaming before placing it in the fridge. The food should be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then chilled down to 40°F within another 4 hours. Either quick chill the food with an ice bath or separate it into smaller containers to facilitate faster cooling.
